It’s somewhat racist, but it’s also got some truth to it. Anywhere internet cafés are a thing cheating tends to be more popular. They’re usually not using their own account, so there is no risk to cheating. Internet cafés are prevalent in China and Russia, so there’s a stereotype of them being cheaters. That’s not to say they all do it, but it’s more likely than most other places.

Their culture literally encourages cheating. Is it racist to say things that are fucking true?

You know what’s racist? Ignoring a whole countries culture. They have to in China because there is so much competition. If you DON’T cheat there you will never see success.

Ignoring the whole cultural issue is just ignorant.

Wow I didn’t realize China was the only culture where game theory applied. Guess all those American business owners really are honest and true. Where did you learn so much about Chinese culture?

Yes. China has a huge hacking problem. Anytime there is a ban wave of hackers in just about any competitive online multiplayer game that Chinese players have access to, the vast majority of the IPs banned are Chinese. The gaming cafes over there even advertise hacks.

It has to do with their culture. Chinese culture is very cutthroat and survival of the fittest. It makes people have the mindset of doing anything they can to win or be successful, even if it means cheating. It’s not just video games. They have a huge problem with it in their education system, as well. It’s also why there is so many cheap copies and counterfeits of different products made in China.

“Chinese people” aren’t known for being cheaters in games, except maybe by xenophobic anglophones. However, there are businesses in China that make a living through selling digital gaming items acquired through illegitimate means. Similar to how there are a lot of scam companies based in India - but that doesn’t mean “Indian people are cheaters”. People in India hate scammers too, and gamers in China hate game scammers.

Why people in the west care about this territorial conflict.

It is clearly a strategic conflict for USA and allies to keep China at distance and reduce their ability to move further.

But for people to keep talking about it like it is a ( good vs evil ) feels like propganda by USA military or something.

If we imagine a world where china without Nuclear weapons, so Nato can stop them anytime, I dont think the USA media will care about them.

Because a global power engaging in aggressive colonialism is bad - even when it’s not the US doing it.

You think the USSR, DPRK, and so on are any different? What definition of communism are you using, my dude?

I’d we’d like to talk about genocides in countries that don’t say they’re communist? There’s the Holocaust, ^Armenia, ^^Rwanda, ^^^Bangladesh, ^^^^Romania, ^^^^^Greece, ^^^^^^Assyria, ^^^^^^^Serbia/Croatia, ^^^^^^^^Chechnya

Because Taiwan makes most of the computer chips we use, and the US definitely has a vested interest in China not obtaining that knowledge.

It’s pretty clear that having a strategic partner in that part of the world is a net positive for western counties. Also Taiwan supplies a huge fraction of our computer chips.

That they managed to utterly dominate the chipmaking market and use that as a leverage to make allies was a real master move. The pandemic and the whole supply chain troubles giving a wake up call that “all eggs in one basket” is bad sure got them worried, tho.
